The Stench

[Verse 1] A picture so perfect A picture so clear Painted by numbers And the dye doesn't smear But under the surface Thin layers of sheen Hiding the scent of latrine [Verse 2] We can polish every stain We can patch up the cracks Improve all we want Cut ourselves some more slack But it's still gonna be there It'll have a new frame But the concept is always the same [Chorus] It's the same conversation Wе had yesterday The samе situations We always replay But the stench here Ain't going away [Verse 3] We continue to bicker A billion fists clenched We're still getting sicker From the fumes of the stench So another coat of varnish Over the reek To save us from feeling too weak [Chorus] It's the same conversation We had yesterday The same situations We always replay But the stench here Ain't going away No the stench here Ain't going away [Bridge] There'll be moments of clarity Glimpses of virtues Of what we could be Like a friend who Always overstays The stench ain't going away [Outro] It's the same conversation We had yesterday The same situations We always replay But the stench here Ain't going away No the stench here Ain't going away No the stench here Ain't going away No the stench here Ain't going away
